Title:
  "gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256" on log in

Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gconf

  I get the error message: "There is a problem with the configuration
  server. (/usr/lib/libconf-2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status
  256)" every time I log into my computer. After I click "close" the
  desktop loads as normal.

  This has been happening on all three of my computers since I upgraded
  to 10.04 LTS (using boht amd64 and i386 versions).

  This is not caused by the permissions issues mentioned in bug #269215
  as /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system is chmodded 755 and /tmp is chmodded
  1777.

  Running "/usr/lib/libconf-2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2" from a terminal
  produces no output.

  Attached is my .xsession-errors.
